The only thing is to make sure you jumper the right pin. For the new boards its JP 37.

if your board has the drivers integrated into the main board you have the new board.

The instructions on how to do it are on the site. just read through it and then follow it. if you have questions they by all means ask. However it is really not that complicated.

Anyone know where I could go to see a nice simple run down of doing it? It would be worth its weight in gold not dealing with XYZ ware alone.

No need to keep a computer connected if you print from SD card. I can't see this being any different with the 1.0A.
It would be interesting to see some pics of succesful scans with the AiO.
I tried Kinect and the results were decent but I actually had better results using the 123D Catch app on my Android phone !
I was amazed how much detail it picked up on models as small as 30mm in height.

I have a couple of questions on some things I would like to firm up before taking the plunge:

1.  I use Simplify 3d.  I know you can use another slicer but I like this one atm.  Anyway can someone who has a 1.0A confirm that Simplify3D works well?

2.  If I flash it to Rep. will I need to keep the computer on or does it upload to the printer like it does now?  I feel I should know this but for some reason I don't.

Thanks

I have, and I can not even consider an Aio scan to be mediocre at best compared to those. The Kinect setup can be done for under $50 bucks on top of that.

I was curious if those claiming it did good scans had any grounds of comparison against other open source and cheap scanner hardware?

Thanks! I've already bought a can of developer to whiten/dull the surface. I'll try it and see how it goes.

If the scans are not good you can try an earlier ver of xyzscan. I'm using ver 1.1.18

This is my first post to the forum. I just purchased a Da Vinci 1.0 AiO, despite all the bad things I've heard about it, because reading around the Net I became convinced it could be usable if used properly. So I have not even unboxed it yet (because I need to use it at another location), but I've already started searching for tips and hints, and found this forum. I've been taking notes and bookmarking posts left and right for the past two hours. (I'm particularly looking forward to trying carl_m1968's calibration technique.)

Just from what I've read so far, though, I remain unconvinced, because of two words that I've seen popping up in reference to the AiO: "no scanning." Does this literally mean what I fear it means? Will this literally render scanning unusable? Because that's sure what this sounds like:

scanner function is not supported so AiO will work like an 1.0A

If so, I would think that would merit a bold-faced caveat.

And if that is the case, which I would think would make flashing out of the question for the the 90% (?) of AiO owners who do not already own a better scanner, are there posts I've missed that specifically help AiO users "mess with resetters and hack gcode"?

Thanks in advance for any help!

P.S.: I bought mine here in Japan, through Amazon.co.jp, and apparently the support is no better here, judging from the furious reviews.

I'm just amazed people are still buying the AiO given all the bad press it's had.

@ scobo  I can't speak for anyone but myself I never upgraded my firmware on my AiO and I'm using the xyzscan that came with my machine and my scan are very good. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

I have the aio and well I never got usable scans from anything that I would want to scan.

The repetier software is so much nicer to work with.

Gives you a lot more freedom on filament as well.

Luc put a lot of working into making it work. and the latest version has good support for the aio.

No scanning but really it isn't a big loss.

You also need to have every surface matt ot flat finished meaning having to cover everything in Talcum powder before scanning it use flocking spray made just for scanning. You get much better results from the Kinect and Scanect software and can scan much much smaller and much larger items. Most who have bought the Aoi around here have given up on the scanner and flashed to get better quality prints.

if you want to use the scanner you will need to stay on xyz's firmware
